The 22-year-old had to wait to earn Red Bull’s faith in F1 after being placed in Super Formula for 2017 following his 2016 GP2 Series title success, but has now been fast-tracked to partner Max Verstappen in 2019.

Red Bull motorsport advisor Dr Marko told Motorsport.com that Gasly will be under scrutiny because “that’s what F1 is like”.

“In football if you’re not performing, you’re sitting on the bench,” Marko warned. “Gasly has shown speed, but of course we have to [install] discipline a little bit.

“But also, the support from the team is a different one. We’re confident that he can do it.”
